Order Of Presidential Sneeeaelon As It Is Fixed By Congress. Succession to the Presidency of the United States in case of the death of ooin rreaaent eaxx vice-rresiaent is settled by law. . - .This was provided for January 19, 1886, soon after the death of : Vice President Hendricks. Up to that time Congress would have been obliged to decide j who should become Chief Executive! should the President and Vice-President both become incapaci tated. -The main feature of the law of the Presidential succession are ' as fol lows: " " " . In case pf removal, death, resigna tion or inability of both the President and Vice-President of the Ucited States, Cabinet officers are in the line of suc cession in the following order: T. Secretary of State; he it is who would succeed President Roosevelt. ; 2. Secretary of the Treasury. 3. Secretary of War. 4. Attorney-General. 5. Postmaster-General. 6. Secretary of the Navy. 7. Secretary of the Interior. 1 In this order they are to succeed and act as President until the disability of the President or Vice-President is re moved or i President is elected. The law provides that when one of these Cabinet officers succeeds to the Presidency! in the order named he shall call a special- session of Congress. A proviso limits the succession to those who wouldj be eligible to the Presidency under the terms- of the Constitution, and who have been appointed with the advice and consent of the Senate. The effect of the law is not to provide a sue cession td the" ice-Presidency, but merelv to insure a succession to the Presidency! lion. William P, Frye, of Maine, is now the acting Vice-Presi dent in the sense of presiding over the Senate. Price ot Cosl Adranclug. Charlotte Observer. Consumers of steam coal in Charlotte have been notified of an advance in price of 20 cents per ton. The Birming ham, Ala., Age-Herald remarks that "as winter approaches coal is going up in Atlanta," in Knoxville and : even in Birmingham,' and its comment is that "this must be a sympathetic advance, for there is nothing else to base a rise in prices upon." And yet, as it con tinues, it is difficult to trace the bond of sympathy, for the soft coal of the South and the hard coalpf .the . North, where the strike prevails, are not rivals. Indeed, there seems no more reason why the price of bituminous . coal should go up because the miners of an thracite coal are on strike than that the price of oranges should go up be cause lemons are high, for one quality of coal cannot be generally substituted for another. The hard coal is not adopted to. steam' purposes and the use of soft coal for fuel is not allowed in the great cities, the . principal coal-con suming centres. But is hardly worth while to discuss theories in the pres ence of a condition. Consumers of steam coal, in Charlotte and elsewhere, are to pay higher prices, but they are comforted by no such situation as is before the people, especially the poor people, of the cities, who see the prices of fuel coal going sky high, with the strike still in progress and a coal fam ine not impossible, and all this in the immediate presence of a long winter, fore the people, but there are other questions broader and deeper than any legal question involved. I come up to what I say by asserting that the Meth odist church is not .to blame when one of its members commits a crime, - great or small. A Masonic lodge is not to be held responsible if one of its members violates the sacred oatk of a Mason, ii one or a uozen people get drunk in Atlanta louay, AUanta may not be re sponsible for that, but there is a point where responsibility attaches and inev itably settles down. I repeat, the Methodist church is not responsible when one of its members gets drunk or steals something, but the Methodist church is responsible to God and man for who they put at the head of the church. A Masonic lodge may not be responsible for the bad conduct of one of its members, but that lodge is re sponsible, world without end, for who they make worshipful master ef the lodge. Atlanta may or may not be to blame for the crowd that files into Judge Bales' court every morning, and from the court to the stockade, but At lahta is everlastingly responsibf -toGod ana man for who she puts as her su preme executive. ' There ought to - be three distinct phases of 'eligibility of -a candidate rirst, mental htness ; secondly, moral fitness, and thirdly, legal fitness ; and they ought to come in that order in telligence, uprightness first, and lastly, qualified legal fitness. A man who will get drunk is ho more fit to ba mayor of a city like Atlanta than a pig is fit to preside at a feast of . angels in heaven. A dissolute character has no more place at the executive head of a great city than he has in a T pulpit preaching the gospel. A tree is known by; its bruits, senator Ben Hill once s:id : ' "A man who is politically cor rupt cannot be privately pure." Atlanta will go to tne devil fast enough with her best citizens in au thority, but God has Baid !"when the wicked rule the people mourn," and while Atlanta is submitting the ques tion of eligibility of candidates to the finest legal talent, it is well enough for them to ' submit some questions to God's old book, called the Bible, and let the light of its truth shine upon candidates. Every man to his taste, but I won't vote for a man who is not as pure as his wife ; and I won't vote him, I can get another horse tomor row for a hundred dollars; but if the other neighbor votes the salooa upon my town and debauches my boy and breaks the heart of my wife and damns my poor boy in hell forever, let's see you fix that up for a hundred dollars. I am a peculiar American citizen, j I think more of my boy than I do of my horse, and that s what makes me think more of a horse thief, as a cititen, than I do of any man who votes for or would foster the infernal saloon. I am going to fight them and say just what 1 gentlemanly please on this subject. First, I am sure I am right, and se condly, I am going to say it and take the consequences. I'd rather go around with my mouth in a poultice all the time, and pull the poultice down and shoot them I again, than to go around with a well mouth like many a preacher in this country is doing, afraid to condemn the wrong and speak his honest sentiments; Yours, Sam P.

I don't care what else he is or ain't, if he does either one of these three things I will not stultify my manhood and sense of right by giving him my endorement at the polls. I am not championing any candidate or fighting any candidate. I am Btating some great principles of right. I know I am stating principles that the voters of Atlanta in the interest of home and their children bad better hear: and heed. I am not saying anybody's drank or been drinking; that anybody's dissolute or been dissolute. 1 am talk ing facts about candidates, ! fitness for office in this country where we profess to -be Christian and decent. Atlanta had better never have anothermayor than to have a man as chief executive who would dishonor the homes and the morals of the town. Atlanta has been kicked and cuffed and bought and bossed at the polls by contending corporation interests and some dirty politicians, until almost anything is re spectable at the polls there, but she is ... -. ... . paying for it and she wiu still pay dear for all the influences which have cor rupted her municipal life, or bull-dozed bought, or debauched her officials. If we got a drunkard or a blasphemer or a dissolute character, in tne name of God let's put him behind Atlanta's barroom screens, whiskey barrels and beer kegs, and hide him from the gaze of man. and not elevate him to a position where he is constantly on the exhibit not onlv of his own deformities, but also' of the choice of the people who placed him there. ! j But run who you please, gentlemen, and elect who you please as mayor, I can stand it if you can. I am 50 miles away. The only objection ; outsiders can have is the big head lines and aw ful revelations that your Atlanta papers make when vou get your monkey at the top of the pole.. I I see Americas has gone back xrom nrohibition to saloons. "The dog to his vomit and the sow to her wallow in the mire." I have some little respect for a town tnai is year aiier year but? ing to vote it out and fails, but I have lost all power to respect any community that will put it out and then deuoerate- ly vote the dirty saloons hack in their community to debauch their negroes and wreck the homes of the white peo ple,; A thousand -dollar license and close up every night at 10:30 is the ss. loon law for Americus. Atlanta has the same, and A!nta boasts of the best regulated saloons in the United States, and if tne world knew use uoa knows, the debauchery, wreck and ruin of -the saloons of Atlanta, and knew at the same time that they are the best regulated saloons in the world, then it would not take humanity long to vote every cursed saloon out of the world. We only know a little of the effects of the well-regulated saloons of Atlanta by the unfortunate . gang hmucrht nri before Judge Broyles. and that's iust a drop in the bucket Tifton, Ga., instead of voting saloons back, has taken the wise step of visit ing the blind tigers in the ; town and giving them three days to git clear the county. It is debauched sentiment that will vote saloons back into a town; it is a pusilanimous. sentiment that permits blind tigers to run an hour. The difference between sentiment that UleKlnley Was Knot a Tear ago. So Fresh in mind of the public are the shooting and I death of President William McKinley that few persons probably realize that the fatal bullet was fired the first Friday in Septem ber, a year ago. ! Much has happened in the affairs of the nation since the news of the shock ing tragedy was flashed over the wires to the; uttermost parts of the world, though a year in itself is a small thing in the history of a nation. On that Friday- it 'was September 6 the; President of the United States, in the best of health and enjoying the confidence and respect not only of his countrymen, but of all other countries, was shot down in the Temple of Music of the Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo. ( The details of the brave fight he made for life, of the tireless efforts of the surgeons, and of how he died early on the morning of September 14, after having murmured to his wife, "God s will not ours, be done," will linger in the minds of all until this generation has passed away. Kings and Emperors hastened to send messages of sympathy to the stricken widow, who now . lives in the quiet of her country home at Canton, O., and the whole nation mourned with a feeling of personal loss. r or nve minutes; every team, every vehicle in this city and throughout the length afid breadth of the land came to a stop and the busy hum of a great na tion s industry was stilled. All was i silent, never to be forgotten tribute to the memory of the nation's chief as his body was lowered into its last rest ing place in Canton. This new President, Theodore Roose velt, by a strange coincidence, almost on the anniversary of his predecessor s assassination, narrowly escaped death in the trolley accident near PitUfield Mass. Relative or Daniel Boone. Salisbury Cor. Charlotte Observer. Apropos the article on the ' adven tures of Daniel Boone and his friend, Kenton, in to-day's Observer, it may be of interest to state what is generally un known, that the noted pioneer and fronuersman left descendants who are now living near his old home in this State. ' He spent his early manhood. before bis first journey into Kentucky in Davie county, then a part of Rowan where his father had moved from the eastern part of the State. The ruins of of the cabin in which the family lived are still shown. This spot is on the Yadkin river a short distance above the junction of the South Yadkin at what is still called Boone s Ford. Here young Boone was married and became , the father of several children. When he was ready to move his family to Ken tucky after his first prolonged and per ilous stay he left behind a daughter. Hannah, who was married to James Penry. Penry dying, Hannah Boone then married Martin Kerfis, , by whom she had a daughter,' Eliza, ; who married Jno. M. Summers, and is now living four miles north of Mocksville on tne a armington road, ftoe is ou years of age and is the mother of several grown children. This line of descent is authentic beyond dispute, as there are old people still living who remem ber Hannah Boone and her parentage as toid to tnem. ; Convicts Grading the Road. l ne state has now , 39U convicts in Mitchell county grading the , South Carolina and Georgia railroad (lately bought by the Southern) from the Tennessee line toward Marion, where it know the whole chapter now, but that book is out of print and I don't know the new ones. ; Just so with alge bra. Old Jeremiah Day is .dead and now there is a new book and new rules, and tney are harder to me. now we old men do love to talk over the good old ways of fifty and sixty years ago Captain Calhoun was telling yenter- dajr how old Beman mauled knowledge into the brain through the shanks and posteriors of rebellious boys. I haven't forgotten some of the lickings that good old John Norton gave me, for I was full of mischief, j Professor Ronald Johnston is here now on a "visit. He taught here many years and most all these young married men carry his marks, for he is a Scotchman and has a Scotchman's faith in Solomon and the rod. ; In 1861 he joined the confeder ate army, and when the war was over resumed his school and has now been teaching over fifty years. ' He is a fit successor to Beman and Isham - and Touohie, but has gentled down a good deal and loves to pet his grandchildren. I was ruminating about these school books and their cost. It took $4 to buy four little books for the new grade V 1 . . w ano x Know it is too mucn, and l re- oice to see that a company - has beed formed to. publish I southern school books in a southern city and, keep our money at home. I rejoice that Dr. . I. William Jones has published a school history of the United States that is ac ceptable to our people. He is a grand old gentleman without fear and with out reproach, nd has done more to preserve our good name and our re cord than any other man. His biog raphy of Jefferson Davis and of Robert E. Lee should be in every household Even Teddy, who claims to be a his torian, ought to read that of Mr. Davis and repent and retract and apologize before he is set down as an arch calum niator of a true patriot and a noble man. This reminds me of that brave girl, Laura Talbert Halt, who ' refused to sing "Marching Through Georgia" in the Louisville public school. Bles sing on her; she ought to be adopted as the successor to Winnie Davis, the Daughter of the Confederacy. My good friend, Joe Brown, has written parody on that song, and the last line to every verse is : I "As we went 'thieving through Georgia." I have lost some of my respect for the city of Louisville as a southern city since that infamous song is allowed to be sung in their public schools. But I am comforted every day with letters of inquiry about the roster that Georgia is going -to make and about Judge Walter Clark's books and how to get them. Here is a beautiful letter from Hon. P. T. Turnley, mayor of the city of Highland Park, Ills. He is 81 years old, but does not look it in his handsome photograph. He was born and reared in Tennessee And graduated at West Point in 1845. Stonewall Jackson was his roommate; Generals D. R. Jones and William Montgomery Gardner his classmates. That is get ting pretty close to us, for D. R. Jones was our brigadier for a while, and Gard ner was our colonel. Mr.. Turnley wants those books and I wish to say here that the books must be ordered from M. O. Sherrill, state librarian, Raleigh. N. C. Send $5 and they will be sent by express, but not prepaid And here is a letter from G. W. Nich ols, of Jestip, Ga., who also sends his interesting book. "A Soldier's Story of the Lawton Gordon Evans Brigade." That s right. If we can nnd one man in every regiment who will write its history we will soon get our roster started on a North Carolina basis, But I am not well and must forbear for this time. Bill Am the end should com Si when she thought thai the, end might be near; but she looked fwrd with a sinking of the heart to the ptewUSitT of years of unvarying service, ceiling for hourly ministrauoo and with only one puasibl outcome. ! ot without heartaches and muctr inga, but with courace and riUal affec tion the younger woman took up her duty. Nor was she content with that' form of ministration which measures itself. It was her delight to give her self to her mother In every way that was possible. And in that unmeasured service there came an u nex pected ioy. an enthusiasm that lifted it above drudgery, and in response to which every beautiful trait in her mother's character displayed itself. The mother loved flowers, and the daughter moved her flowers to the mothers room, and kept them bloom ing in the window. After s time the indow became a floral bower, and in the center sat a queenly old lady In white,, looking down ution the street It was beautiful to see her there, and to witnees her interest in the activities which she could not share. be looked down with a smile on the clerks hurry ing by to business, and the young men came to look up at the window and lift their hats, bhe always waved her fan to children, and these, even though they did not know ber name, knew and loved the window. Back in the house and out of sight, the daughter devoted herself to her daily cares, rejoicing in her mother's comfort of heart and body, and the years for this continued for years- sped fast. A little while ago the chair became empty, and since then the bell has often been rung by unknown people who say, I beg your pardon, but where is the dear-! old lady who sat among the flowers?" Each day the daughter is learning that to scores of people her mother's life, and her own, have been a daily benediction. "It has come to me to say to them," said she, "not to: think of the vision of my mother as if it had gone, but as if she still looks down and smiles upon us from a higher window, and among flowers that do not wither, Tome, at least, it seems so; and in the light Of that smile I shall live hence forth." The home seems empty now, for what might have been a burden had become an abiding joy. Are there not many homes that need just this lesson of un measured love, to perfect mutual sym pathy, of enthusiastic self-giving, to make inspiration of drudgery, to save future regret, and to make the sorrow of the home a blessing T avM eneieaeio V I Rs if iTucu ca ca LA With An Experience OF ' SBBBSBBBBBk I YEARS 7.

Democratic State Chairman Simmons tells your- corres pondent he is particularly pleased st the political outlook and regards the party aa now stronger than ever before There is no independent movement, so far as he is aware, except in four coun ties, and in each case the dissatisfac tion is due to local causes entirely. He says there is no general movement no movement with a bead. He regards ex-Congressman J. W. Atwater as emissary, going about seeking to de velop and foster any independent movement or meetings or -demonstra tion. He is informed that in a western county a republican of high position went to one of the democrats who failed to get nominated and who he thought was .dissatisfied, and assured him that if he would run as an inde pendent candidate ail . his expenses would be jpald. The sens tor says he has no idea the democrats will fail to carry ail the congressional districts All the statements or bints that they will not carry the ninth he character izes absurd. He is also confident that there will be even fewer republicans members of the legislature than there were at the hut session.

How striking is the comparison with the rather miserly con duct of our own btate!

In his contest with the lynching spirit, on the other hand, the Governor has not been successful. His heavy reward for the Salisbury lynchers hss resulted ih nothing. Down in his home county (Wayne) a week or two ago there was a lynching for the name less crime. The coroners jury not only reported nothing against the mob but declared that its members "would have been recreant to their duty" had f they not lynched the negro. And the j IiUUU WUAItT 1UIT WCM, VA VI its way to endorse this report of a coro ners jury in another county. All this goes to show how firmly entrenched is the lynching spirit and how slow must be the work of bringing about that rev erence for law that will make mob' vio lence impossible.
